Though it's odd; I live in a world like every other typical teenager. Teenagers are all the same, we can argue non-conformity as much as we want, we're all the same people. Gossip is every teen's #1 concern; as if we all care who is fucking each other. We all want the next juicy gossip, many of my friends are prime example of this, I always wonder which of my friends will date the other tomorrow. Gossip starts to fit slowly into the harsh reality that ALL teens talk shit about each other, no living human being can say that they have never said anything negative about someone without their knowledge; we love to do it until it happens to us. I will be 1st to say that I am a guilty party, I often gossip and talk a lot of shit, but I don't sit around and act like I don't. Teens will never admit our own hypocrisy; we all judge each other for things we've either done or thought of doing. Every day my friend tell me not to talk shit about people but that friend talks shit more that ANYONE.
Subtlety is in short supply with teens and we sometimes couldn't care less; I know about 50 people that will openly discuss their sex life as if it has no effect on them. Sex is no longer a sensitive subject in modern life, it is a ploy in a teen's game to get to the top of the 'food chain', it works every time. The higher your 'nookie number' the better you are supposed to be. My number is 4 and nowadays I'm considered freaking Mother Teresa compared to the average modern teenager (According to MSNBC, the US average is 10.3 people) . We're not afraid anymore, with the availability of contraceptives and abortion, teens have become fully desensitised to sex and it's a disgusting thing. Again, I am a guilty party, I joke about sex ALL THE TIME and disrespect it's meaning of love and affection.
Love (HA!), we have taken the true meaning of that word and flushed it down the (metaphorical) toilet. Love used to be a true word and now it's used as a mating call for the teenage male to the teenage female. I have used i but I still use it for it's true meaning; I want it to tell someone that they mean alot to me and I want to be with them forever.
